Garrion: howdy

Garrion: get it all figured out?

Tabris: Yo

Tabris: Left you message on Yahoo, my Parry scores are still all fucked up

Tabris: They change every time I do something even if I leave the Parry modifiers alone

Tabris: And they change unaffected Parry stuff like the one for my fist

Tabris: No idea what’s going on

Garrion: so what changes them?

Tabris: Whenever I edit a weapon damage, or whenever I switch weapons

Garrion: ok, well i just got in from working outside and need to hop in shower. will look if have time before we start.

Tabris: Okay

Zindal: sets aside a trusty Enchanted Longsword.

Zindal: picks up a trusty Enchanted Longsword.

Garrion: bne sure only the weapon parry mod is on the weapon, universal defense and enhanced parry goes in the abilities section

Zindal: picks up a trusty Mithral Scimitar PB.

Zindal: readies a trusty Mithral Scimitar PB.

Tabris: Oh, I didn’t see the Enhanced Parry in the abilities section, I mean mine only applies to Broadswords so I didn’t think it would go there

Garrion: you have correct updates GCS for me to compare to?

Tabris: Unless you can set conditional mods, I didn’t see where to do that

Tabris: Yeah, let me send that to you

Tabris: Oh, you’re not on Yahoo, lol

Garrion: not conditional, if applies only to broadswords then you would amp up the parry on any broadsword weapon you have

Garrion: let me launch that

Tabris: Well yeah I did that in the weapons

Tabris: I have +2 to all Broadsword Parry and +1 extra for my Longsword since it’s Defending

Tabris: So I set Parry mod to +2 for the Scimitar and +3 for the Enchanted Longsword

Garrion: well defending adds to total defense or just parry?

Tabris: Just Parry

Tabris: Or Block

Tabris: Depending on if it’s on a weapon or a shield

Garrion: ok

Garrion: so it would go directly on the sword too

Tabris: Yeah

Garrion: i’ll brb

Sachi has connected.

Sachi: Hiya~

Sachi: Didja get my email G?

Tabris: Think he’s afk at the moment, hehe

Tristan has connected.

Tristan: hola

Tabris: Yo

Sachi: Hihi!

Tabris: I was just regaling Sachi with the my latest tale of woe from work

Sachi: Turns out I actually don’t gotta lot of changes to make ^^; I bought 2 points of ER, put 2 points into the Body Sense skill, and all the rest was spells

Tabris: My production manager got an entire plant-wide system outage cancelled at literally the last minute because he was concerned about a side effect in our building, despite his entire engineering staff (including me) telling him that it was totes cool and his concerns were unwarranted

Tabris: So like now, all the overtime work that was lined up for this weekend is cancelled, and any normal work that could have gone on isn’t going to happen because, you know, there was supposed to be an outage

Garrion: hpwdy all\

Tristan: howdy

Tristan: sounds like a smart guy….

Tabris: lol yeah

Tabris: We’ve had some issues in my building lately, and it’s the building that basically everyone in the plant is fucking terrified of

Tristan: My main tech guy is 1000% smarter than I am and i’m ok with that

Tristan: that’s why I hired him. So I listen to him

Tristan: works out great

Tabris: So when you talk about potential side effects in our building it gets everyone nervous

Tabris: lol yeah

Tristan: and he makes me a lot of money. win win.

Tabris: It kind of pisses me off that like, okay, you hired me to fulfill this technical role where I know my shit and can tell you what you should and shouldn’t be concerned about

Tabris: And I do that

Tabris: And you don’t fucking listen to me

Tabris: Like, why am I here

Tristan: think that’s bad, try being in the military. you literally have to take orders from people you know your way smarter than. They stay in because their career options are limited (not everyone of course, just referring to the dumb asses)

Tabris: lol, yeah, that would drive me crazy

Tabris: Though honestly it’s almost as bad where I work

Tabris: And some of the managers are ex-military

Tabris: So they have that mentality

Tabris: Like, I’m in charge so you do what I say and I don’t care what your opinion is

Sachi: x.X

Garrion: ok, will be working on this sheet for a bit till the others arrive

Tabris: Management also randomly decided that due to our recent issues I have to take all corrective maintenance work to the “Operational Safety Board” for review

Tabris: So like this one job I have right now is to leak check about a 5 ft section of pipe that’s had a blank flange and gasket replaced on it

Tabris: And they want me to present this to a board of people to judge whether or not it’s safe

Tabris: And I"m like…. Are you fucking out of your mind?

Tristan: didn’t you get that tps report?

Tabris: rofl

Sachi: lmao

Tabris: I’m actually watching Office Space right now

Tristan: *bows

Tabris: That’s hilarious

Tabris: That shit is so true to life too

Tristan: i have camera’s in your apartment Tab

Tabris: lol

Tabris: What’s even funnier

Tabris: We actually have a system called TPS at the plant

Tristan: stop looking around, you will never find it

Tabris: When I heard about it I was like “Does it generate reports?”

Tabris: But nobody got the reference

Tristan: hopefully someone had a sense of humor when they called it a tps report.. I don’t even know that that means

Tabris: I’m going to guess Toilet Paper System

Tabris: But yeah, this is the sort of insanity I’ve been having to work with lately

Tabris: And we aren’t even direct government employees, just a contractor

Taragnor: heh well I get to roll 3 times and take the best, so might as well take the 10.

Garrion: no point in using up your luck,.. you may need it later in session

Taragnor: Well I rolled earlier and got only a 5.

Taragnor: My first was a fialure. So I had to use it

Garrion: oh ok

Tabris: Yeah heh, he failed on his first search check

Garrion: so you find the amulat with your second search for the weeek

Garrion: you also have committed 3 Servants to your companions for help during the week

Taragnor: yup that’s fine.

Garrion: ok, that wrap up all the searches to buy?

Taragnor: Sef wanted some spider climbing thing

Taragnor: I calced the price for him (I think) you can verify

Garrion: ok, the spell in use?

Taragnor: He wanted to support 300 lbs with wall walker spell, and I had it so it required a Power 3 enchantment (to maintain indefinitely)

Taragnor: We calced it to cost $60,000

Taragnor: Or I did anyway

Loryc: picks up a trusty Ironskin Amulet.

Loryc: readies a trusty Ironskin Amulet.

Garrion: ok so that is a 1000 base and then it is not self sustaining so have to add that enchantment to it

Taragnor: Yeah, and 3 levels of the power enchantment to cover the maintenance cost (but not all fo the casting cost)

Garrion: costs 4 to cast for 300 lbs

Taragnor: yeah he’d stillh ave to pay FP to cast it

Taragnor: but it can maintain indefinitely

Taragnor: Since its half to maintain

Taragnor: so it’d be 6 for 300 lbs, and 3 to maintain. ANd power 3 would let that maintain indefiniteyl

Garrion: ok

Taragnor: which is fine, since he won’t be spider climbing in his sleep

Garrion: right can’t sleep on the ceiling, haha

Taragnor: Well he could if he got 3 more levels of power :P But that’s way too expensive.

Taragnor: As I priced it it was like 3,000 energy * $20 for $60k

Garrion: so energy is 1000+2000… $60000 to enchant

Tristan: so, how would something like a ring of invis work? power/cost wize?

Garrion: plus cost of ring itself

Tabris: It depends on the energy it takes to cast the spell and maintain it and shit

Tabris: And it’s basically $20 per energy point

Taragnor: You could do that I think. it’d be expensive. If you really wanted to pump money inot it you coudl get an always on invis that wouldn’t deactivate when you attacked, but you’d need I think Power 5 for that so that the activation cost is nil.

Tristan: ok, where is the best source to read up on this? In “magic?” (the book, not the secion?)

Taragnor: Power 2 would make one that is always on until you attack

Tabris: Yeah, the book

Taragnor: Yeah, it’s kinda complicate dto price the items, basically you look up a spell in GURPS magic first that you want to copy.

Taragnor: Then you look at the item section to see if you can make an item out of it and how much energy that takes.

Tristan: cool, sounds easy enough

Taragnor: After that you have to buy the “Power” enchatnment out of the enchantment college to reduce the cost of the spell (otherwise you’re paying the cost from your own FP by default)

Sefiros: since i dont feel right doing shit with a char sheet thats 60pts over budget

Loryc: Alright.. so I guess Loryc, Melty, tristan and Urso meet at Zindals.

Sefiros: makes me feel like im cheating

Melty: .-.

Melty: 60 points?

Sefiros: yeah

Zindal: Okay, so we’re still in the same month we started in

Sefiros: was error on gcs

Zindal: So we don’t need to pay COL again yet

Sefiros: one thing was adding 3 pts of dex

Garrion: you paid for this month at the beginning

Sefiros: that it shouldnt

Zindal: Got it

Loryc knocks on Zindal’s door.

Zindal: Good to go

Garrion: you will pay again in 7 days

Sefiros: so i gotta figure out how to re-arrange some shit so im rules legal

Zindal takes a moment to answer the knock…

Zindal: “Who is it?”

Loryc: “It’s Loryc, though not as myself.”

Zindal: “When are you ever?”

Loryc: “And I’ve got Melty with me.”

Zindal: “Oh, well…”

Zindal opens the door

Garrion: and mina

Melty: “Sup.”

Loryc: (I thought Mina was busy?)

Garrion: ahh, she can be here too

Zindal: (Sef just said he was having Mina be “busy”)

Loryc comes in and shuts the door.

Sefiros: i’ll RP so long as we dont bust out in a combat or something

Loryc: (Guess we can assume Tristan an d Urso are here, if Cedric and Tristan are present)

Zindal eyes Melty’s gold coin pendant and smirks a little…

Garrion: yep

Loryc: “Remember that bag of holding you gave me? Well it turns out it was also holding a devil.”

Garrion: as long as you told them you were having a meeting

Zindal: “Who says I gave it to you?”

Zindal: “It didn’t have gold or weapons in it so I didn’t care.”

Loryc: “The curse apparently. Since otherwise the devil would be hunting you down.”

Sefiros: “It tore up my house too, asshole.”

Loryc: “If you’d like to announce that it was only a temporary loan, I’d probably be okay with that. I’d just make a habit of sleeping with one eye open.”

Zindal smirks

Zindal: “Fraid not.”

Loryc: “So now… I’m going to need a little bit of help in getting rid of this cursed thing… or I should say some backup in case my plan goes wrong.”

Melty: “Yeah, I’m more or less a fashion plate now with all this money. I tried making a bed out of it but… I haven’t figured out a way to pad it so it’s comfortable but you can still tell it’ smade out of gold coins…”

Mina: “I say we just find a good mark to pawn it off on, some suitable scumbag.”

Loryc: “And by wrong, I mean the devil shows up ahead of time and tries to kill me.”

Mina: “Someone you dont mind being dead.”

Mina: “Saves us the trouble.” she says a little sarcastically

Loryc: “I’m thinking we can give it to the hellknights… Unless anyone else has some other idea?”

Zindal shrugs

Urso: ( miss anything major?)

Zindal: (Nah)

Zindal: (We’re regrouping and Loryc is explaining his devil curse problem to us)

Melty: (How big is this place btw again for the nth time?)

Garrion: yep, seems so

Melty: ←rolls Most Spells and gets 9 vs. Skill (16 with a modifier of 0)

Melty SUCCEEDS by 7

Loryc: (It’s an inn room Sachi)

Garrion: small

Loryc: (so like pretty small)

Melty: (Ah kk)

Zindal: (It’s basically an inn room)

Urso listens to the story.

Zindal: (Kind of low quality)

Loryc: (We’d be squeezed in)

Zindal: (Near the red light district)

Melty: (Anyway I’m casting Watchdog around it, so if anything comes through the perimeter I’ll be alerted)

Garrion: a status 0 room at an inn

Garrion: like motel 6

Zindal: lol yeah

Loryc: “I’ve cast a spell that should throw him off, and Mina hurt him pretty bad… but there’s no telling when it’ll show up again.”

Mina: “It teleported away, like some panzy.”

Loryc: “But it won’t stop until the owner of a certain note is dead. And right now that’s me.”

Melty: (I dunno how much FP it costs because it’s 1 FP x radius in yards)

Zindal: “Hm, well I’ve never tried killing a devil before, but I suppose I could give it a shot.”

Mina: “Back it it’s boney mother I guess.”

Loryc: “If it makes you feel better, I can create it a sword Zindal, so it’ll feel more like a fair fight.”

Garrion: well you can say radius of room is about 9 feet

Zindal: “I’ll pass on that, thanks.”

Melty: (So 3?)

Mina: “Not sure if stabbing it in the eye works though.”

Melty: (2 with my skill)

Garrion: 18-20 feet across

Mina shrugs. “Guess you can poke first and ask questions later like you usually do.”

Tristan: “guessing my arrows can’t really hit a vital spot…”

Zindal grins

Loryc: "Well based on the new gear you’ve acquired you should be more than abel to handle it… but it’d probably be easiest if I just pawned it off on a hellknight. "

Zindal: “It’s worked well for me so far.”

Tristan: “hey wizard, what kills demons?”

Garrion: got Hidden Lore?

Loryc: (Yeah in Wizard!)

Loryc: ←rolls Wizard! and gets 14 vs. Skill (17 with a modifier of 0)

Loryc SUCCEEDS by 3

Mina: ""I think he said it was a Bone Devil."

Tristan: “i’m not used to my arrows being so ineffective… a couple different creates in a week. Ever sense we started hanging around you it seems like life just got a bunch more complicated”

Mina: “It’s not actually a demon.”

Loryc: “Yes a devil not a demon… which means holy silver is your best bet… dismemberment works wonders.”

Mina: “There’s a distinction.”

Loryc: “Or you could just stab it in the eye like Zindal.”

Garrion: i think you rolled gggod on that… you would basically know that all devils have a supernatural protection that is vulnerable to goodness

Zindal: “Well, I have the silver part…”

Tristan: “demons, devils… arrows don’t see to work so well. I mean, that one that I shot in the eye… that was ok but getting through it’s skull was a bit tricky”

Zindal: “Perhaps I can acquire holy water or something to coat the blade.”

Loryc: “Well it won’t be easy regardless, and hopefully if we do this right we won’t have to fight it.”

Zindal nods…

Mina: how do you ever get good aligned shit in gurps?

Loryc: (G if I destroy the cursed item after I give it to someone, it’ll make it so they can’t transfer the curse, right?)

Mina: i didnt think there was such

Zindal: “So basically whoever you give some scroll to is the devil’s new target?”

Urso: " maybe best if we find place we can all live together, or very close"

Melty: “Oh yeah, that’d make sense.”

Loryc: “The only catch is they have to accept it willingly.”

Loryc: “Though I don’t have to tell them its cursed.”

Zindal: “Do they have to know they’re taking it? Or can it just be hidden in something?”

Loryc: “If the scroll si destroyed, it’ll make it impossible to transfer the curse.. so ideally I can transfer the scroll then destroy it.”

Zindal: “That’s kind of how you got it, right?”

Loryc: “It can be hidden in something, or just disguised.”

Garrion: yes, but you couldn’t give it to them if you destroy it and if you take it to destroy after you essentially reclaim it

Zindal: “So shove it in a coin purse and drop it on the street then… Somebody will grab it.”

Melty: “What if you pour the holy water on the scroll or something?”

Loryc: (well what if it had a contingent spell on it?)

Loryc: (like I had melty put on a delayed destructive spell, that triggers later?)

Garrion: unless you give then sneak in and set fire to it without taking it again

Loryc: (We could trigger it remotely, and destroy it while its in thier possession)

Garrion: that could work

Loryc: “I’m going to need a small wooden box that I can lock… and Melty do you know how to set a spell to delay and activate later?”

Garrion: what did you end up doign with the body of the teifling?

Loryc: (I paid to have her buried remember)

Garrion: oh right

Loryc: (Under an illusion of course)

Loryc: “I’ll need some kind of spell that can destroy a peice of parchment… though not now, some time later today, once I’ve already given it to someone else.”

Garrion: ok, as you come over Zindal was handling the crux and jiggling it around

Garrion: ?

Zindal: Well that was before I answered the door

Zindal: But yeah he was trying to figure out how to open it

Loryc: “Do you have a spell like that Melty?”

Melty: “Yeah, totally.” (I had to check)

Melty: (Sorry, I’m REALLY sleepy T_T )

Garrion: will let you finish the demon discussion then can cover that

Loryc: “Alright.. I’ll need you to rig up the spell and delay on this peice of parchment, I’d recommend not touchiung it when you do it, so you don’t get inadvertently cursed… and don’t destroy it right away… we need it to be destryoed sometime later, preferably if you can activate it at any time…”

Garrion: crit fail the roll so you fry it.. PLEASE

Zindal: rofl

Garrion: ;P

Zindal: That’s going to be hilarious

Loryc: “Mina you can go get me a wooden lockbox.. in the meantime I’m going to scribe up a forged note.”

Mina: “Where the fuck am I suppose to get that?”

Loryc: “I don’t know? a general store… it doesn’t have to be magical..”

Loryc casts create object, making up an actual shopping list for Mina.

Loryc hands it to her.

Zindal: “It sounds like you need someone who knows how to treat you properly.”

Melty: “Don’t get too airtight of a box, though, or it won’t burn.”

Mina: “Yes, commander.”

Loryc smiles.

Garrion: back

Mina: “Anything else? Want some strawberries of a rimjob while I’m at it?”

Mina: or a*

Loryc: “Don’t worry, I havne’t led any of you astray so far, right?”

Zindal gives Loryc a deadpan look

Mina: “Only every step.”

Loryc: “Only what I had on the list, but thanks for the offer.”

Garrion: lol

Mina: “Fine, I’ll do your shopping, but expect the loss of a few drops of blood when I get hungry.”

Zindal: “Oh no, not astray… Just a slight mischaracterization of our last job, nothing big…”

Tristan: *looks at the wizard thinking “I wonder if arrows kill him”

Tristan: but not saying anything

Loryc: “Well it got you rich, didn’t it… which begs the question of why you’re still living here.”

Mina grumbles, as she heads off , looking at the list, as she walks out the door and heads to the market.

Zindal shrugs

Loryc: “I really hope you didn’t spend all of your share on a magic amulet and armor.”

Zindal: “It’s not like I need anything else.”

Mina: I’ll take my parasol if its daylight

Zindal: “I have a bed, a roof, and four walls… Oh, and a floor.”

Loryc: “You could use a little extra space.”

Garrion: it is morning

Garrion: probaly arund 9am

Zindal: “For what? I have enough room to swing my swords…”

Loryc: “I’m pretty sure even Melty is cramped in here.”

Zindal smirks a little, probably making some kind of innuendo

Loryc: “And surely you must tire of the bed bugs…”

Mina: “Fuckin daylight too!” she shouts down the hall angrily, before her grumbling fades in the distance

Loryc: “After we deal with this devil business, I’ll get you a good deal on a nice upscale house.”

Zindal shrugs

Zindal: “Whatever waves your wand…”

Melty: “Hey, that vault place wasn’t so bad. I got to burn that chick to de— I mean, it was a shame that happened, cause I wanted to interro— I mean… I have a deep and abiding love for every living creature on this planet, and I publicly regret my overcommitment of electricity. Uh, force.”

Loryc: “It’s time you moved from whores to courtesans.”

Loryc: “Anyway I’m goiong to get to forging the mayor’s seal.”

Urso: “what difference?”

Zindal: “Courtesans dress nicer and have better makeup.”

Garrion: oh, zindal…. did we handle you diseases last session… i know i did Loryc but you were late or something

Zindal: I honestly don’t remember

Zindal: Can I just say I bought a casting of Remove Disease or something?

Urso: Urso mucled thru his

Garrion: all the whore talk got me to thinking about your living petri dish

Zindal: I mean we’ve had downtime enough that I could have taken care of it

Melty: (ooo that’s a spell I should get :3 )

Urso: hehe

Melty: (I still gotta few points)

Loryc: Just hope they don’t charge you per disease removed :P

Zindal: lol yeah, that’s a good one to have on hand for Zindal

Garrion: no, cause you didn;t know you had anything till it rearts its ugly head

Zindal: Well when does that happen

Zindal: I mean we’ve had what, a week?

Urso: definently get remove disease and poison if there is one as well.. we have been hit by both already

Garrion: your incubation was longer than Loryc’s… you did not show signs till 3 days after heist’

Loryc: wait how did I get diseased?

Zindal: Well like I said, it’s been a week since then?

Zindal: So I mean that’s 4 days to deal with it

Garrion: i meant urso

Loryc: ah okay, I was gonna say :P

Zindal: So I’m not sure how I couldn’t have found a cure in 4 days

Loryc: My servants are clean, I don’t create em with diseases.

Zindal: All I gotta do is find a healer and throw coin at them

Loryc: And by healer, you probably mean cleric of asmodeues :P

Zindal: lol whatever

Zindal: As long as they can cast Remove Disease I don’t give a fuck

Loryc: Just hope it ain’t a disease unique to their vault. lol.

Garrion: yo only ad 1….

Loryc: Anyway, the plan is for me to forge a note from the mayor, along with his seal on the scroll…

Garrion: you only had 1….

Zindal: Wait what

Zindal: One what

Loryc: Then place the scroll in the box when Mina gets it… have Metly put her delayed enchantment on it.

Garrion: i disease, urso had 2

Melty: I got Ignite Fire so that should be easy~

Loryc: Then lock the box, then I’ll go via illuision as one of the Mayor’s servants and visit the hellknight barracks.

Melty: As long as the box isn’t airtight >.>

Melty: Might wanna have a flame-resistant interior

Zindal: Okay, well like I said, if I can find somebody to cast Remove Disease then I just pay for the casting, if it’s been a week since the heist then that means I’ve had 4 days now to find someone

Zindal: I’m not gonna let some random dungeon disease linger

Loryc: And say it’s a delivery from the mayor wiht a scroll from him, basically saying it’s important evidence to catch the perpetrators of the robbery.

Tristan: probably did not get it from the dungeon…

Garrion: i just want to get it covered so i can remove from your status que

Loryc: Nah it doesn’t matter too much Sachi. by the time he realized it burned up and got it open, it’llb e destroyed.

Loryc: I mean I assume it burns like normal paper.

Zindal: lol well just tell me how much to pay for the Remove Disease and I’ll pay it and then it’s covered, and I assume normal rest will recover stat loss

Loryc: And I’ll visit him as an illusion disguise, so it’s not like he can track me down easy.

Garrion: 2 ST

Melty: Yeah, I just mean airtight so it actually burns, and slightly flame-resistant so it doesn’t start a tenement fire or something

Garrion: you were weakened by the disease and felt very down suddenly….

Loryc: heh, well I mean I don’t want yout o put an exlosive fireball in there.

Garrion: then you realized that Lucy must have given you something

Mina: lol

Zindal: lol

Zindal: That bitch

Mina: juicy lucy

Mina: or loosey lucy

Tristan: and by down he means your limp

Garrion: Give me a few HT-3 rolls till you get it diagnosed and healed

Loryc: lol.

Loryc: -8 ST (limited to erections)

Melty: Yeah heh, Ignite Fire just creates like a spark that catches various stuff on fire depending on how much energy you spend

Tristan: lll

Tristan: lol

Loryc: okay well as long as you destroy the scroll, that’s cool.

Tristan: could not even type

Garrion: ((NEED TO SEE IF YOU GO PERMANENTLYBLIND))

Melty: Like, 1 energy can light tinder in a second, 2 energy can light paper and stuff in a second

Zindal: Are you shitting me

Zindal: ←rolls HT and gets 15 vs. Skill (13 with a modifier of -3)

Zindal FAILS by 5

Melty: Whoaaaa

Tristan: you were warned about touching it… you will go blind

Zindal: Wondering now if I need to luck this shit…

Tristan: dude, luck that

Tristan: is it really agaist blind? I would think so

Zindal: I mean seriously how fucking long does it take to find a healer

Zindal: This is a major city, this shouldn’t be that hard

Mina: VD kills man

Garrion: well would zindal run out right away.. he does not seem to me that type if a little down

Zindal: lol I don’t know where you got that impression

Garrion: but after the second hit he would look for help

Mina: tho he may cause an aids epidemic single handed

Loryc: Well does he feel a burning sensation on his crotch?

Loryc: I figure that’d get him panicked

Zindal: As much sex as my character has, yes if he has some kind of sign of disease he’s getting it treated

Zindal: Oh yeah, totally fun, it’s not like I’ve had a fucking crap week and I’ve also been sick for most of it IRL and haven’t had time to go to a doctor because my managers shit themselves when I’m not at work and yet they don’t listen to me when I am at work

Melty: ; ;

Melty: Blehhhh

Melty: hugs

Zindal: Let’s just move on already

Zindal: God damn

Garrion: Loryc is making a plan

Loryc: I’ve got my plan down. heh.

Loryc: I just need to execute it.

Garrion: ((from now on don’t catch diseases….))

Zindal: Yeah because I can totally control that

Garrion: well you did go swimming in gross goo

Loryc: So I’m forging a ltetter from the mayor, with his seal (also forged), that basically is an instruction to the hell knight commander to see this box safely given to the fortress (whatever that hell knight fortress was we went near before)

Loryc: It’s to be carried by a capable warrior under guard, as it contains evidence that may be cirtical in catching enemies of Asmodeus.

Zindal: Right, so I guess I dump all my future skill points into whatever lets me determine things have diseases and then devote all of my time to avoiding those things

Zindal: Because god fucking forbid I catch something else

Garrion: ok, roll your forgery.. this is a well known seal so it is at -7

Garrion: roll the disguise and spend the FP… remember the other spells you maintining

Loryc: And basically deliver the forged message and the box. along with the key (which is rolled in the parchmet) the orders aren’t to open the box until they reach that hellknight castle to the south)

Melty: (Would I be able to tell if it “changes ownership” by looking at it with e.g. Mage Sight? I can add a detection spell to the Delay enchantment if it’s necessary to tell when a condition is fulfilled)

Garrion: ok

Loryc: The cursed parchemnt is in the box, the forged scroll with the mayor’s seal is the one I’m handign to em, as well as the lcok box. And the scroll basically has orders to whoever the commander is in the barracks.

Melty: (I like that, it’s kinda modular)

Loryc: And telling them to send an escort to deliver this box to their fortress and have its contents carefully examined.

Garrion: ok

Melty: (also brb, bio~)

Loryc: Also gonna put a conceal magic on me.

Loryc: I’ll drop my armor spell for now.. so…

Garrion: Zindal and Tristan roll acting or somethign to pretend you guards….

Loryc: heh, well I mean they’re under illsuion

Loryc: and they just gotta stand around

Loryc: I’ll tell them not to talk

Loryc: don’t figure there’s anything they can do to give it away lol. I mean they’re just guards.

Tristan: boo

Loryc: It ain’t like they got speaking rolls

Tristan: i think I did take a point though

Garrion: right, but their behavior is still there… so hence the roll

Garrion: it will be modded

Loryc: Well I’ll give them a little tutorial on how to act like a guard with my Fake! skill.

Tristan (Stan): plus what?

Garrion: +4

Loryc: I mean thgey’re just mayor’s guards I dunno how they can really fuck that up. lol.

Melty: “Yeah… As dick as Hellknights are, it’d be kinda like leaving them with a weapon.”

Zindal: “I guess at this point they’ll consider it a crude attempt at an attack.”

Zindal: “And not realize its true nature.”

Loryc: “If all goes well, they’ll assume the mayor might have done it or someone in his house, and start to suspect them.”

Loryc: “The note after all did come from his vault.. divinations will reveal that.”

Urso: ( it burn after an hour, or hour after its openned?)

Zindal: After an hour

Zindal: The condition was transfer of ownership

Loryc: “So either he has to own up with being careless with his own vault…. or… he was behind the thing.”

Garrion: yep

Loryc: “Either way it’s a win for Westcrown.”

Zindal nods…

Garrion: good plan

Zindal: “Speaking of that vault…”

Zindal pulls out something from a belt pouch

Zindal: “Still trying to figure this thing out.”

Zindal holds up the Chelish Crux

Garrion: now i have to work out the intricate details of the civiol war you started

Loryc: “Hmm… from what I understand it has some rather complex map to open it.”

Zindal: “Do you think our friends would have some insight to that?”

Urso: " Deliver to the pathfinder woman?"

Zindal: “They were interested in the contents as well from what I remember.”

Melty: “Want me to play with it first?”

Loryc: (Were they? I kinda forget, I know the thieve wanted it)

Garrion: ok, description again for the crux…..

Garrion: This strange and baffling object appears as a wooden and metal dodecahedron (similar in shape to a d12) that measures about 6 inches in diameter— each face of the crux is carved with a different rune, and when one looks upon the thing, the observer has the unsettling sensation that he can see too many or too few sides at once.

Loryc: Is this some kind of known magical item from lore or what not?

Loryc: ←rolls Wizard! and gets 10 vs. Skill (17 with a modifier of 0)

Loryc SUCCEEDS by 7

Loryc: like have I heard anything about this thing? I assume it’s something kinda famous.

Garrion: the puzzle box is quite difficult to open using any kind of force.

Loryc: yeah we’re not gonna smash it yet.

Melty: Can I make a roll? Wizard! or Encyclopedist! ?

Garrion: Rolling the Crux reveals that it is hollow, with numerous objects within sliding around inside.

Garrion: The pathfinder had asked you to get it.. she may be able to help. You know nothing about it other than knowing it is a magical lock box.

Garrion: you open up the device and the sides all somehow interlock in a way that as it unfolds it lays flat into a 2-foot square sheet.

Garrion: Laying there on the sheet are some objects….

Urso: ( a new tv?)

Urso: (damn it )

Mina: A NEWCAR!!!

Melty: “Whoa.”

Loryc: (Figurine of wondrous power: Honda Civic?)

Melty: “Cool!”

Garrion: now that you have seen it in action you recall some other details you had heard about these things…..

Zindal: (Do they summon a pale dude with pins in his head?)

Loryc: (lol)

Zindal: (That’s basically what this thing is lol, one of those puzzle boxes from Hellraiser)

Loryc: (lol hopefulyl it’s not… damn we got it from hell too…)

Garrion: this you already stated…. As an object that creates an extradimensional space, a Chelish crux functions as a bag of holding for determining how long a living creature within can survive, or for what happens when the crux is placed in another extradimensional object like a portable hole

Loryc: (this shit better not have another devil in it)

Garrion: A Chelish crux can hold up to 200 pounds of objects, but the physical size of each object is irrelevant

Loryc: nice… now that I cracked the combination can I open it easily now?

Loryc: Or do I gotta replicate that attempt each time?

Garrion: no, you know the combo now unless it gets changed

Loryc: And how small is this thing too? We may wanna give this to melty if it’s fairy portable.

Loryc: I figure my backpack of holding thing is too big for her.

Urso: ( 6" cube thing )

Zindal: Yeah it was fairly small from what I recall

Zindal: Like gem sized

Loryc: Actually isn’t she 6"?

Loryc: I mean it’s basically a big d12.

Zindal: lol yeah she is I think

Urso: ( still as big as her )

Mina: lol

Zindal: Actually I think she’s below 6 inches

Mina: pixie prison box

Loryc: Yeah so much for that plan lol.

Urso: ( like a refrigerator box to her )

Zindal: lol

Garrion: This strange and baffling object appears as a wooden and metal dodecahedron (similar in shape to a d12) that measures about 6 inches in diameter— each face of the crux is carved with a different rune, and when one looks upon the thing, the observer has the unsettling sensation that he can see too many or too few sides at once.

Loryc: yeah we can stuff her in there as punishment.

Zindal: Yeah 6 inches in diameter

Mina: pokeball

Urso: " so what inside?"

Loryc: yeah so still too big for her.

Melty: Yeah I’m about 6"

Zindal: Hahaha

Mina: MELTY I CHOOSEYOU!

Melty: 6" tall

Loryc: lol.

Zindal: Melty! I —damn it

Melty: :3

Garrion: ok, on the sheet lie……

Loryc: (Yeah lets examine the spoils of solving the despotic d12.)

Loryc: (It conatins a copy of each weapon taht deals d12 damage!)

Zindal: lol

Mina: it includes 1d100 cenobites

Zindal: Haha, yeah

Tristan (Stan): legolos’ quiver?

Garrion: a severed head (more to follow), a leather portfolio, 3 scrolls, a silver box, and a matched pair of wands.

Zindal: lol severed head

Melty: I was looking at the perks in one of the GURPS PDFs, and apparently there’s one that lets you take like 10 seconds or something to curl up into a tight ball and reduce your SM by 1 (you can’t move while you’re compacted like that)

Zindal: That was a really important severed head apparently

Garrion: the severed head that immediately begins shrieking and screaming as soon as the crux is opened.

Loryc: “Well… I wish this thing gave me more of a heads up about what was inside.”

Melty: It also lets you squeeze through tight spaces

Tristan (Stan): “can you cast a spell to see if there are any more demons or devils attached to those things?”

Loryc: “I mean I would have thought about biting first. Maybe that’s just me.”

Loryc speaks rather nonchalantly to the head.

Garrion: it continues on screaming profaniites in rage

Melty: “Whoa, hey, buddy. What happened to you?”

Mina: “Or Zindal can just stuff his cock in it, to shut it up, he usually doesn’t care judging by those recent visits from that guy who owns the apothecary.”

Garrion: it is a female head

Zindal: Why hello there

Loryc: (Oh it’s a female head?)

Garrion: role hidden lore

Zindal: Female what? lol

Loryc: (Guess Zinda’s share is a new sex toy)

Zindal: Okay apparently not human

Garrion: it is an erinyes

Zindal: Oh wow, lol

Loryc: (oh they’re pretty hot)

Tristan (Stan): “start hanging out with a wizard and you see some wierd shit”

Zindal: Yeah how attractive an Erinyes? lol

Zindal: What’s her Cha score?

Urso steps on the top of the head, then applies pressure with his foot so that it traps the things jaw underneath so can’t yell anymore.

Loryc: “Somoene mind putting a gag on that head? We may want to question it later.”

Urso: " Quiet you "

Zindal: The thing is unrolled on a table or something, you don’t really want to step on it like that

Zindal: Someone just gag it

Zindal grabs some rags from the bathroom

Garrion: it is possible to tell that Khazrae was once quite beautiful, with crimson red hair that somehow still defies the centuries of dust and abuse it has received. Her sinister eyes, though, reveal her devilish heritage, as does her penchant for litanies of curses and ramblings in Infernal.

Loryc: “Well not quite yet, who knows we may be able to befriend her.”

Loryc: “After she calms down that is.”

Melty: “Yeah, I’d be pissed if my head got cut off and stuck in a puzzle box for who knows how long.”

Zindal: “We did just release her from prison..”

Loryc: (alright so is someone gonna gag it?)

Zindal: lol yeah I’ll gag her

Garrion: mmghtppmsdpnaolnn… she caries on while gagged

Zindal: I assume I can find something lying around

Melty: (If she doesn’t calm down I can cast Hush)

Loryc: (to head) “Look you’re never going to get ahead in life if you just go around screaming like that.”

Zindal: “That’s the problem with so many of them, they don’t know when to stop talking.”

Mina: “I have things to do, I have to get ready.”

Loryc: “Well fortunately, my bag is one devil short.”

Zindal: “At least it was only a partial.”

Loryc: (Now that she’s gagged I’ll pick up the head and put it in my backpack of holding to muffle it.)

Mina: Fuckin talking heads, some reward."

Garrion: You fucking prick. You think that is so funny huh? Get a-head!"

Zindal: I thought she was gagged lol

Garrion: well you can make it out slightly through the gag

Zindal: “You could just put her back in the thing, might be a funny surprise for our Pathfinder friend.”

Urso: " what about other stuff?"

Loryc: “Yeah maybe… but first I want to know what she knows, and we can examine the toher stuff…”

Garrion: as you look through the other things she starts to calm down some… but first the other objects

Mina: "Quiet down, before we toss you into the latrine.

Melty: “Aw, don’t be a dick. She just got outta there.”

Garrion: The leather portfolio contains a number of papers.

Loryc: (Well I tossed her in my bag of holding to muffle her)

Loryc: (After she was gagged so she don’t bite through it)

Mina: “The more reason she can refrain from making my ears bleed.”

Loryc: (I’ll do detect magic + analyze magic on the items so I know what they do btw)

Garrion: This leather-bound portfolio bears a single mark on its cover—an embossed and very stylized letter “D.”

Melty seems to have some level of sympathy for the tiefling, in spite of her prejudice…

Loryc: (gonna minimize risk of cursed stuff)

Urso: " careful, maybe curse too "

Mina: its not a tiefling, its a full fiend

Zindal: Yeah heh

Zindal: Erinyes

Mina: erinyes, sorta like succubi

Zindal: Basically a fallen angel

Garrion: well in that case she won;t calm down

Loryc: (Do I know that particularly stylized D as being some kind of recoignizeable wizard’s sigil, symbol of a place, etc.?

Garrion: local lore

Loryc: (Yeah we can question her when we got a more secretive location, don’t wnana question her in the inn.. I mean it is Zindal’s room so tehy’ll rpbably just assume it was a hooker he was banging or something)

Mina: lol

Zindal: lol

Zindal: True

Loryc: (Probably one that he tried to cheat out of her money, that’s why she was bitching him out)

Garrion: These sheets of paper serve as accounting ledgers for Delvehaven. All of the ledgers are dated from the years of 4674–4676, the period when Delvehaven was under the control of the House of Thrune. Of particular interest is a passage on the top paper that indicates the strong possibility that the Delvehaven Pathfinders hid a portion of their treasure and clues about how to enter the deepest vaults in an off-site hidden cache somewhere in or near Westcrown, but that no indication of where this cache might be located has yet surfaced. These ledgers are frustratingly vague and written in shorthand, but cold offer valuable insight within Delvehaven. The ledgers cease abruptly at the end with no explanation.

Loryc: ooo…

Loryc: an excellent time to use my new Finance skill!

Loryc: ←rolls Finance and gets 8 vs. Skill (18 with a modifier of 0)

Loryc SUCCEEDS by 10

Loryc: Lets see if I can discern anything from the ledgers…

Urso: " so that what we find, or there even more?"

Loryc: “There’s more items but I’m going to check out the notes first… you know you should generally read the scrolls first… since they contain useful things like instruction manuals sometimes and warnings.”

Garrion: you determine nothing more than already gathered… you think that the ledgers could help you to ID magic items and appraise the value of anything found

Tristan: (next up, rob pathfinders…)

Melty: :3

Garrion: nmext up.. the list

Garrion: This single piece of parchment lists the names, descriptions, and in many cases final fates of several Pathfinders.

Garrion: Mayor Vheed— Presented below is what I have been able to piece together regarding the Pathfinders who escaped notice after they sealed Delvehaven during the initial riots in the pre-Thrune unpleasantness. After the passage of seventy-some years, it would seem likely that only Sivanshin still lives, and if you wish, I can send my agents north to Nidal to attempt to find him. The use of grave tallow to interrogate those who have been dead these past several decades ironically makes them more available to interview than Sivanshin—provided we can find their remains, of course. I am happy to report that I’ve made some progress in that area. 1. Donatalus Bisby: Leader of Amber Privateers and one of only two survivors of a journey to darkest Mwangi—he has firsthand knowledge of at least one magical artifact that could well serve our needs for control. It would seem Bisby was sealed inside one of Delvehaven’s lower vaults as the others fled, but I’m unclear if this was a voluntary sacrifice. 2. Ilnerik Sivanshin: Bisby’s chronicler, a half-elf, Sivanshin fled Westcrown a week before Aroden’s Fall. Evidence suggests he fled north, toward Nidal, and with a stolen relic. 3. Coriana Heavenscape: A Westcrown native and, if rumor is to be believed, an aasimar, Coriana remained in Westcrown and organized the Father’s Bulwark, one of many groups of rebels glorious Thrune smashed in the pursuit of establishing order. She was slain and her remains collected by the Sisters of Eiseth—I’ve got them sifting through their holdings in an attempt to find her. 4. Loremaster Liriam: Delvehaven’s master of lore—no other would know more about the vaults below. Alas, no evidence of his survival has surfaced—like Bisby, his remains might still lie within Delvehaven. I do suspect he was the author of “Cugny’s Wedding,” and if so, your suspicion that it is a cipher may well be correct. 5. Venture-Captain Aiger Ghaelfin: Aiger was certainly the one who ordered the sealing of Delvehaven. My early research indicated that he planned on fleeing Cheliax for Absalom, but further investigation revealed this to be false. He remained in Westcrown and fought alongside Coriana in the Father’s Bulwark, but was laid low by a Thrune wizard who petrified him and then smashed the resulting statue. Scuttlebutt among the blood bookie circuit is that the remains of the man’s petrified body have been in the possession of one of the lesser noble houses involved in bloodsport, but I’ve not yet determined which family (I suspect the Luccas). These filthy has-been nobles play well enough when faced with Thrunish agents, but without the direct aid of your allies, master, I’m afraid I won’t be able to learn more…

Zindal: (Yeah Zindal is picking through the other stuff while Melty and Loryc read, he doesn’t care about random bits of paper)

Garrion: What appears to be a page torn from the back of a book sits in a larger piece of folded parchment. The torn-out page presents a poorly written poem called “Cugny’s Wedding,” about a man who falls in love with a mermaid but drowns when he tries to seduce her. The poem is covered with spidery script, as is the folded parchment that cradles it. A quick study of the parchment indicates that someone believed the poem was a code or cipher that hid the route to a cache of Pathfinder treasures kept outside of Delvehaven (as indicated in the ledger portion of the Delvehaven papers).

Tristan: heading to bed guys, i’ll finish reading this in the morning

Zindal: “Eh… Doesn’t look like anything great anyway…” (or maybe it is, will wait for descriptions after the paper stuff is done)

Loryc: (ooo treasures…)

Zindal: lol this sounds familiar

Zindal: Fabulous treasure hidden away in a locked up place that nobody goes into?

Loryc: (though not sure if Loryc would want to steal fromthe pathfinders)

Loryc: (they’re good aligned right?)

Zindal: They’re not dicks at least

Loryc: (yeah.. I didn’t get the impression tehy were evil)

Garrion: yes, they recover and store all the ancient lost articacts and knowledge across Golarion

Zindal: Yeah like they care about preserving lore and history and such as opposed to just looting lost ruins

Loryc: (heh well so did the Angjan in my campaign, it didn’t make em good :P)

Zindal: lol

Zindal: Well they don’t disregard other shit in pursuit of that goal, I mean they don’t intentionally cause harm if they can avoid it

Zindal: And I’m pretty sure they don’t do things like sacrifice virgins to open temple doors or whatever

Loryc: (Yeah if they’re mostly a good organization I figure I’d want to turn it over ot them, Loryc is a thief, but he only robs from the corrupt)

Garrion: that is it for the portfolio

Loryc: (Alright I’ll check out the other items)

Loryc: (Using analyze magic if necessary)

Garrion: 3 scrolls

Loryc: (I can cast analyze in 1/4 of the time, so only 15 mins instead of an hour.)

Melty: Yeah I kinda like the Pathfinders, they sound like D&D Indiana Jones

Loryc: (Checking everything for traps, so I’ll rol that if you want)

Zindal: Yeah that’s basically what they are

Garrion: they contain magic spell formulae

Loryc: (Yeah I got the impression the pathfinders weren’t bastards, so I wouldn’t screw them over.)

Zindal: Like if Indy was an organization instead of one dude

Loryc: (That’s not Loryc’s style, he’s just curious about the secrets)

Zindal: Also I may not be around next week, I’m supposed to drive back home for a cousin’s wedding

Garrion: and if no equiv i may make unique items

Zindal: Though work may interfere with that

Zindal: Remains to be seen at this point

Loryc: yeah your work wil prolly shit themselves if you aint’ there.

Garrion: let’s do silver box.. last item

Garrion: you open it and it contains some stubby candles

Zindal: Yeah, nice to be needed I guess… Would be nicer if I got paid better, lol

Loryc: Probably you’ll come back to see that a portion of Louisian has been reduced to rubble.

Garrion: you detecty them as magic

Loryc: Assume I’ll idenitfy em with analyze magic.

Loryc: yeah you should hold em hostage for more money lol.

Garrion: analyze tells you that if you light them you can commune with a dead spirit

Zindal: lol yeah, when I went on vacation a couple weeks ago my backup was all nervous and shit, I told her when I got back “Well the building is still here, so you didn’t fuck anything up too bad”

Loryc: Encypt your papers using a special cypher and then quit.

Loryc: “Interesting speak with dead candles…”

Loryc: (Do I think all this stuff was Pathfinder stuff?)

Loryc: (Or just the journal?)

Garrion: This is a small silver box engraved with dancing skeletons and containing four stubby candles.

Zindal: (Heh, one of those papers talks about finding the remains of dead pathfinders I think)

Loryc: (obviously the erinyes heead probably wasn’t…)

Zindal: (Were probably using the candles to interrogate them or something)

Loryc: (Well yeah I know the journal and papers was PF stuff)

Loryc: (Yeah that’s kinda what I wanna know.. I don’t really wanna rob the Pathfinders, or at lesat Loryc doesn’t.)

Loryc: (honestly OOC I got a bit of a grude agaisnt em for sending us on that Serpent’s skull mission)

Loryc: (but Loryc wouldn’t act on that)

Loryc: (me OOC I say fuck em :P )

Zindal: Actually if I’m reading this right these documents might actually be like House Thrune stuff from when they took over the Pathfinder lodge, the ledger was from that time period it says

Zindal: And then they’re talking about tracking down the remains of dead Pathfinders

Garrion: The pertfolio seems to relate to PF stuff but not written by them.. it is done under period of Thrune occupancy.. Someone was trying to break the code and never got to finish it seems or at least stopped writting about it.

Zindal: And figuring out some cipher that they left behind

Zindal: Yeah heh

Garrion: the name, Mayor Veed…..

Loryc: Ah okay cool so we can take the magic items then.

Loryc: If they ain’t PF stuff, they’re loot.

Zindal: So it’s actually the notes on some other asshole’s attempt to steal their shit

Loryc: Yeah. so we can hand the notes to the PF contact, once we verify she’s reallky from the pathfinders, and not a spy.

Loryc: And we’ll be good.

Garrion: He was the first of the post-Thrune mayors and was a known wizard

Zindal: Oh is that the dude who wrote this or something?

Loryc: Yeah probably..

Cedric is disconnected.

Cedric is disconnected.

Loryc: SO we can turn it over to the Pathfinder chick or whatever and keep the items, then plan our next move, since I doubt Zindal is eager to go into another dungeon fo death anyway :P

Cedric has connected.

Loryc: Remember ya can’t stab wraiths or iron golems in the eye.

Zindal: lol

Tristan is disconnected.

Zindal: Yeah that’s one of the reasons I took Power Blow

Garrion: well you can keep secreet from her or work with her.. she may be able to shed some light

Zindal: Just need to get the skill check high enough to use it in a single round

Garrion: that all up to you what you want to reveal

Zindal: With a successful Power Blow check I can actually beat Urso or Mina in damage

Zindal: sets aside a trusty Enchanted Longsword.

Zindal: picks up a trusty Enchanted Longsword.

Zindal: picks up a trusty E Longsword PB.

Melty: Whoa

Zindal: readies a trusty E Longsword PB.

Loryc: well if she’s really form the pathfinders, I figure we can giver her the journal and be okay.

Zindal: The E Longsword PB inflicts 41 cut raw damage.

Zindal: Like so

Loryc: Funny thing is Melty can beat ya all probably if she enlarges.

Loryc: Kaiju Pixie.

Melty: :3 I’m pretty sure I can

Zindal: lol

Zindal: The E Longsword PB inflicts 24 imp raw damage.

Melty: I don’t even gotta be kaiju sized.

Zindal: Imagine 24 impale to the eye

Garrion: oh, vheed was the second mayor…..

Zindal: x4 damage, no DR

Garrion: Of all the cities in Golarion, none suffered so badly from the death of Aroden in 4606 AR as did Westcrown. Rioting broke out onto the streets as panic engulfed the city. The mayor, Norren Betevesk was murdered during riots and the mayoral manor partially destroyed. The chaos led to civil war, which was to continue until the rise of House Thrune and the appointment of mayor Anvengen Doskivari in 4640 AR.7 The capital of Cheliax moved to Egorian, and Westcrown became a shadow of its former glory. The mayor disappears mysteriously in his mayor and is replaced by the wizard Dargentu Vheed in 4661 AR.[

Zindal: sets aside a trusty E Longsword PB.

Garrion: ok, good night, heading to bed

Zindal: sets aside a trusty Elven Mail Coif.

Melty: It turns out pixies are more or less the Juggernaut when magically scaled up to human size

Melty: Night night!

Zindal: picks up a trusty Elven Mail Coif.

Loryc: heh okay cya.

Loryc: Next time we’ll divvy this stuff up I guess, and figure out what we wanna do.

Zindal: lol, so you’d be like Mina and could basically break me in half… But I’m still gonna try to get in the sack with you anyway
